Are you a Godly Husband?

Being a godly husband involves aligning your behavior, intentions, and heart with biblical principles while loving your wife selflessly. Here are key elements based on Christian teaching:

1. Love Sacrificially (Ephesians 5:25)
“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.”

Put her needs before your own.

Be willing to give up comforts, time, and pride for her well-being.

Lead with humility, not control.

2. Lead Spiritually (Ephesians 5:23)
“For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church...”

Be an example of faith through prayer, scripture, and service.

Initiate spiritual growth—pray together, attend church, study the Bible.

Leadership means responsibility, not dominance.

3. Honor and Respect Her (1 Peter 3:7)
“Husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor... so that your prayers may not be hindered.”

Treat her as an equal heir in Christ.

Be patient, attentive, and sensitive to her emotions and needs.

Never belittle her or take her for granted.

4. Communicate with Grace (Colossians 4:6)
“Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt...”

Listen actively and speak with kindness, even during conflict.

Avoid sarcasm, harshness, or passive aggression.

Be quick to apologize and forgive.

5. Be Faithful in Heart and Deed (Proverbs 5:18-19; Matthew 5:28)
Guard your heart and eyes from lust or emotional unfaithfulness.

Prioritize intimacy and connection with your wife only.

Be trustworthy in all things—financially, emotionally, spiritually.

6. Serve Humbly (Mark 10:45)
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve...”

Help with responsibilities at home.

Be ready to serve without seeking recognition.

Practice selflessness daily.

7. Grow Continually
Seek accountability from other godly men.

Read scripture, pray for wisdom, and ask God to shape you.

View marriage as a sanctifying process—not a destination.
